Fine and dry for many today. Cooler and changeable tomorrow.
Often cloudy towards the north and west with some rain early on and again later in the day. Elsewhere, a fine day with plenty of sunshine and feeling very warm in places, especially across the south and east.
A band of rain will move across Northern Ireland and Scotland overnight. Mostly dry for England and Wales with clearest skies in the east. A mild night away from northwest.
Rain followed by cooler and showery weather will continue to move southeastwards across the UK throughout Thursday. Remaining dry and warm across the southeast until later on.
Unsettled throughout Friday and the weekend, with further bands of rain and showers. Some drier and brighter interludes developing in-between with temperatures near or occasionally a little below average.
Updated:
It will likely remain rather changeable during the first part of this period with showers or occasional longer spells of rain affecting many areas. Whether this takes the form of successive weather systems pushing in from the Atlantic or a more slowly evolving weather pattern remains rather unclear. There may also be some drier and brighter interludes and when winds are light, it should feel quite warm, despite temperatures most likely being close to normal for most. Later in the month more blocked weather patterns become more likely, with high pressure in the vicinity of the UK. This increases the probability of more settled weather, especially in the north but there may still be periods of rain or showers, especially in the south.
Updated:
Blocked patterns with high pressure near to the UK will probably be dominant during this period with a good deal of dry weather across the UK as whole. Some unsettled interludes could develop at times, especially in the south, where rainfall amounts could be above average. Temperatures will probably be near to or slightly above normal, although some cold nights are still possible.
